Red-capped Plover (body) | Organic Staple T-shirt
The Red-capped Plover is like the pint-sized celebrity of the beach—small, stylish, and always turning heads with that bold red cap. Native to Australia, this little shorebird is often seen darting across sandy beaches or mudflats, looking like it’s got a million things to do, but in reality, it's just hunting for tiny treats like insects and crustaceans. Despite its small stature, the Red-capped Plover has a confident, almost cheeky vibe, strutting around with its bright red headband like it's the star of the show. Known for its quick, darting movements, it’s always on the go, zipping across the shoreline with impressive speed to nab its next meal. Though it may seem like a lone wanderer, it’s often seen in small groups, probably gossiping about the best places to find food. So, if you see one of these little beach-goers on your next trip to the shore, take a moment to admire its charm—it’s a bird that knows how to make a splash without ever needing to fly!
- Fabric: Mid weight, 100% combed organic cotton (15% viscose in marle colourways) sustainably grown without herbicides or pesticides.
- Fit: Regular fit with a crew neck.
- Construction: Side-seamed, GOTS-certified, with neck ribbing, shoulder-to-shoulder tape, and double needle hems. It is also pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage.
Care- for maximum print life:
- Turn inside out: Always invert your shirt before putting it in the wash to reduce friction against the Direct-to-Garment (DTG) ink.
- Cold & gentle: Wash the garment on a cold cycle (under 30°C) on your machine's gentlest setting.
- Mild detergent only: Use standard, mild washing powder. Avoid heavy-duty detergents, enzymes, and bleaching agents (even non-chlorine ones, if possible).
- No softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip or degrade the coloured inks.
